1 METROPOLITAN UTILITIES DISTRICT Inter-Department Communication December 6, 2013 Subject: REPORT ON INCOME AND FINANCE FOR OCTOBER 2013 To: From: Committee on Accounts, Expenditures, Finance and Rates cc: All Board Members; Messrs. Bucher, Doyle and Keep, Ms. Schneider; KPMG and all Vice Presidents Joseph J. Schaffart, Vice President, Accounting Statements: Board Schedules Water and Gas, A-12, A-20, W-1, W-2, G-1 and G-2 for the month of October 2013 are transmitted herewith. Water Department October water sales revenues of $8.7 million were $1.6 million, or 15.7% unfavorable to budget and $2.7 million, or 23.8% unfavorable to prior year. Water volumes were 18.9% unfavorable to budget and 36.9% unfavorable to prior year. The fairly sizable unfavorable volume variance versus prior year was partially mitigated by the 5% rate increase to two components of the water rates, namely Commodity Charges and Service Charges that was effectuated in January The relationship between volumes and revenue is further impacted by the fixed components of revenue, namely Service Charge and Infrastructure Charge revenue. To clarify, the Service Charge and Infrastructure Charge components of a customer s monthly water invoice are the same, regardless of usage levels. This billing methodology has the impact of smoothing revenue, making the overall revenue variances less pronounced than the volume variances would seem to indicate. October expenses were favorable to budget by $.4 million, or 5.8%, due primarily to: Millions Decreased Customer Accounting and Collecting Expense due primarily to increased sewer and tax collection recovery-entry recorded in error in September and corrected in October Reduced Depreciation and Amortization Expense (plant additions and replacements, including WIR, below budget by $16.9 million) Increased Distribution Operating Expense (Field Svc Backflow) and Maintenance Expense (Mains) $0.4 $0.2 ($0.2)

2 October expenses were favorable to last year by $.2 million, or 3.0%, due primarily to: Millions Decreased Customer Accounting and Collecting Expense due primarily to increased sewer and tax collection recovery-entry recorded in error in September and corrected in October Increased Primary Pumping Operating Eexpense, primarily power at Platte South and Platte West $0.4 ($0.1) All other, net ($0.1) The activity discussed above resulted in October net income for the Water Department of $1.5 million, which is unfavorable to budget by $1.2 million, and unfavorable to prior year by $2.5 million. The Water Department fund position at October 31, 2013 is $41.9 million, which is $28.7 million favorable to budget, due primarily to: Millions Increased Revenue $ 1.3 Decreased Operating Expenses 3.8 Reduced Depreciation and Amortization Expense (2.0) Increased OPEB expense (non-cash expense) 0.5 CIR Retro Payment (nearly all of payment charged to Gas Dept.) 0.6 Reduced/Delayed Capital Expenditures 16.9 Contributions in Aid of Construction (0.9) Increased Unbilled Revenue (0.9) Other Changes 5.2 Operational Funds Variance to Budget $24.5 Proceeds from NDEQ Contact Basin Loan $ 0.5 Pay down in Loan from Gas Dept. (lower net pay down vs. budget) 3.7 Total Fund Position Variance to Budget $28.7 At October 31, 2013, there was an Interdepartmental Receivable of $6.7 million due from the Gas Department related to the monthly settlement between the two departments. The Water Department has paid off the intercompany loan from the Gas Department. -2-

3 The Water Department s October year-to-date capital expenditures were $16.9 million less than budget (as noted above). Though some of the variance is timing related, it is anticipated that full year capital expenditures will be approximately $9.6 million less than budget. Significant items budgeted, but not closed and/or expended through October 2013, include: Millions Over (Under) Budget Platte South - SCADA Replacement ($ 1.4) Platte South - Zweibel Creek Waste Elimination ( 1.3) Platte South Replace Wellfield Communication (LT3-I) ( 0.7) Platte South - Phase 2 HVAC ( 0.6) Platte South Replace Upflow Basin Valve Actuators ( 0.2) Platte South All Other ( 0.3) Florence Improvements (numerous projects) ( 4.4) Platte West - SCADA Replacement ( 0.1) Pumping & Purification Florence Phase 2 THM Reduction ( 1.1) Pumping & Purification Replace Nordberg Engines Platte South ( 0.9) Pumping & Purification-Three Wakesha Engines at Skyline ( 0.3) Pumping & Purification-All Other ( 0.4) Construction Machines ( 0.6) WIR Projects ( 2.3) Mains-Other ( 1.8) Furniture, Equipment and Miscellaneous ( 0.4) All Other, net ( 0.1) ($16.9) -3-

4 Gas Department October Gas net revenues of $6.7 million were favorable to budget by $.3 million, or 4.5%, while volumes were up by 12.4%. October net revenues were favorable to last year by $1.1 million, or 19.7%, while volumes increased by 4.5%. The disparity between the revenue and volume variance as compared to budget and prior year is due in part to the fact there are fixed components to the revenue stream, namely Service Charge and Infrastructure Charge revenue; consequently, a 12.4% favorable volume variance to budget does not result in a like favorable percentage increase in net revenue. Additionally, the favorable variance to budget is partially mitigated by lower other operating revenue, primarily reduced service turn on charges. The revenue variance to prior year is also impacted by a mix issue, in that interruptible sales (lower revenue per Dth) were down by 192,000 Dth (primarily due to O.P.P.D.), while firm sales (higher revenue per Dth) were up by 277,000 Dth. The revenue variance versus prior year was also unfavorably impacted by lower other operating revenue, primarily reduced service turn on charges. October expenses were favorable to budget by $.5 million, or 9%, due primarily to: Decreased Customer Accounting and Collecting Expense due primarily to increased sewer and tax collection recovery-entry recorded in error in September (which overstated expense) was corrected in October Decreased Depreciation Expense (plant additions and replacements, including GIR, below budget by $12.5 million through October) Decreased Administrative and General Expenses due primarily to reduced salaries and joint administrative expense Millions $0.4 $0.3 $0.2 Increased Production Operating Expense, primarily LNG ($0.2) Increased Distribution Operating Expense, primarily Field Service ($0.2) October expenses were unfavorable to last year by $.1 million, or 2.8%, due primarily to: Millions Increased Production Operating Expense, primarily LNG ($0.2) Increased Depreciation Expense ($0.1) Increased Distribution Operating and Maintenance Expense ($0.1) Increased GIR gas service reconnects ($0.1) Decreased Customer Accounting and Collecting Expense due primarily to increased sewer and tax collection recovery-entry recorded in error in September (which overstated expense) was corrected in October $0.4-4-

5 The activity discussed above resulted in October net income for the Gas Department of $2.1 million, which is favorable to budget by $.7 million and favorable to last year by $.9 million. The Gas Department fund position at October 31, 2013 is $15.6 million, which is $14.3 million favorable to budget, due primarily to: Millions Increased Net Revenue $ 9.2 Decreased Operating Expenses 1.4 Increased Depreciation and Amortization Expense 0.5 Decreased OPEB expense (non-cash expense) ( 0.5) Reduced/Delayed Capital Expenditures 12.5 Change in Unbilled Revenue 1.7 Natural Gas Inventory Change ( 4.1) CIR Retroactive Payment ( 0.5) Other Changes ( 2.2) Operational Funds Variance to Budget $19.3 Pay down in Loan to Water Dept. (less than budgeted) ( 3.7) Total Fund Position Variance to Budget $

6 The Gas Department s October year-to-date capital expenditures were $12.5 million less than budget (as noted above). Though some of the variance is timing related, it is anticipated that full year capital expenditures will be approximately $10.1 million less than budget. Significant items budgeted, but not closed and/or expended through October 2013 include: Millions Over (Under) Budget GIR Projects - Mains and Other Distribution ($ 4.1) Information Technology - Mobility Initiative (2.5) Information Technology - CRB Project (1.8) Information Technology - SAN Storage Replacements/ Additions (0.7) Information Technology - HR Initiatives (0.5) Information Technology - Data Center Equip.

7 Statement A-12, Payroll, Employee Count and Overtime by Area Payroll and Employee Count The active payroll for October was $4.9 million, compared with $5.0 million in budget and $4.7 million for prior year. At October 31 st, there were 807 regular full-time employees, compared with 853 in budget and 822 in prior year. Part-time, Summer and Temporary employees numbered 20 at October 31 st, as compared with 20 in budget and 15 in prior year. Overtime Hours Overtime hours for the month totaled 7,908.1 as compared with 7,066 in budget and 7,903.5 in prior year. The unfavorable overtime hours variance versus budget (842.1 hours, or 11.9%) is primarily due primarily to Customer Accounting (895 hours over budget CRB related), Customer Service (412 hours CRB related), Field Services (246 hours over budget) and Plant Engineering (151 hours over budget) partially offset by decreased overtime in Construction (1,164.9 hours under budget). Statement A-20, Restricted and Unrestricted Funds On October 31, 2013, the Water Department cash and restricted funds totaled $35.6 million. Of this amount, $10.1 million was in the 2012 Bond Project Fund, $12.0 million was in the Bond Sinking/Reserve Fund, $0.2 million was in the Platte West Environmental Fund and $13.3 million relates to WIR funds collected but not expended. On October 31, 2013, there were no Gas Department investments; however, there was $50.8 million in cash on hand. The cash on hand is primarily made up of: 1) customer deposits and credit balances $17.6 million; 2) GIR funds collected but not expended, $12.1 million; and 3) cash reserves of $21.1 million. The funds are generating earnings credits, which serve to reduce our monthly bank charges. The earnings credits currently exceed the returns offered by short-term investment options.
